You cannot be everything to everyone

You can only do the best you can do.

Just a little reminder as everyone gets a little end-of-year / festive season worn out / over excited….

If Christmas sucks for you, it sucks and I’m sorry. It doesn’t matter why, but if you just want it to be over that’s OK. Do what you need to do to get through it (safely).

If you love it but feel the pressure to be perfect / in three places at once / different people to different people / mediate between family members…. remember:

You are one human. You can do one human things. It’s OK not to be everything to everyone. You can’t be. Don’t beat yourself up for not being able to do the impossible. Be you, to you. Be kind to yourself. It will make you a kinder, better human.

These clichés are clichés for a reason.
